New designs completed are a wood version of
the 49' GULNAR'E. I raised the sheer some and added a small
deckhouse aft. There's also two schooner versions, and a center
cockpit version. I have to post her drawings one of these days
but in the meanwhile, if you can read .dwg files, I can email
you info.

A wood version of the 47-Plus Diesel Duck was
recently completed. She is being built of solid teak in Brazil.
She could also of course build her from local woods here in the
US, and as usual, I based her construction plan on "normal"
dimension US lumberyard stock. She can be planked or composite,
like is shown at the building the 48 DUCK photo essay shown here.

For some reason a whole bunch of steel Diesel
Duck hull designs were done last year. these are, 50-Plus, 532,
542, 54-Plus, 553, 562, and a 573. They all have that "sugar
scoop" stern which is why there is a "2" or the
word "plus" in their name. Add about 2' if you want
a normal looking tranny. They were preliminaries for people who
decided not to build them or hull designs for other people who
finished the cabin and interior layouts themselves. I decided
to offer the hulls and will work with you to customize them how
you want. This will cost half as much as a new complete custom
plan because the hull is done. But it still gives you the freedom
to figure out your own house and interior. I can also offer them
as just the hull lines and dimensions, and you can do all the
rest yourself. This will cost 1/5 the price of a full custom.
Part of this deal is using me as a sounding board for your ideas,
but you do the work. I'll get some of the drawings up one of these
days.....

Little Bucko didn't live to long
but sure went full steam in the time he had.
